Triggers and inversely coloured text

I just switched to 3.12 and all of the sudden my triggers ceased to work properly.

One MUSH I play in outputs com channel names (e.g. <Public>) in inverse colours (background colour as foreground colour and vice versa) and the message in normal background and foreground colours.

Prior to 3.12, when I used a trigger to change the colour of the com channel messages both the channel name and message were printed with the same colours. However, in 3.12 the channel name is inversely coloured whereas the message itself is coloured as selected in the trigger settings('Change colour and style to:'). Any changes I do to the trigger settings doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Was the behaviour in prior versions actually a result of a bug that has been now fixed or ? ;) It would be nice to be able to tell the program to ignore the inverse colouring when printing the text to output after applying the changes with the trigger. I'm not sure if this is possible to do without interfering with trigger matching itself.

You have found a bug. :)

I must admit I didn't test trigger colouring on a line that was already inverse. What has happened is that the "inverse-bit" was retained. Version 3.13 will fix that.
